Hi, In LACNIC we are having a discussion because the policy manual only allows to distribute resources to “organizations legally registered”.
This means that if an individual is having a self-employment or even an individual wants to have at home BGP with its own ASN and IPv4/IPv6 addresses, is not possible. In Europe individuals can be self-employed (in Spain this is called “autónomo”) and even have employees, so it is perfectly understandable that this kind of natural/physical person (instead of an organization/juridical person) can ask for resources, and as such I understand the documents from RIPE NCC (which talks about natural persons). I recall having read messages in multiple mailing lists, about natural persons in ARIN, but my reading of the NRPM is not clear about this. In fact I think I know some of those folks that have ARIN resources for their one “home”, not for business, but I may be wrong on this. I’m trying to understand if is possible in ARIN for both, a natural person with an economic activity (not sure if this is also call self-employment in all the ARIN service countries) and a natural person for its own “private” life, to obtain resources. It will be good also if the staff can also provide some basic/overall stats about how many members are self-employed vs individuals (not-self-employed) vs organizations. Tks!
